Y'see, and it was the Bastila romance that got me a little uncomfortable. First of all, I was never sure if she was hot for my character or his Force Powers (the temple top didn't help matters), and reacting to never getting out of the enclave to date. Then, there's the fact she'd been hiding the Big Secret all along and had that Force Bond to your PC, which made things clear as mud. (The Force Bonds, BTW, are one of the most disturbing things about K2).

Carth hadn't a clue, and neither did the female PC. There's also no Force Bond involved, just the usual "guy meets gal." Play male, and you miss out on SO MUCH when it comes to that character, while you only mis one conversation on Bastila's end playing female.

I played a female Revan. Why? Well, it's a lot easier on the eyes to stare at a CG female rump than a male one for some 20ish hours of gameplay. That, and I've usually got a variety of mods running that let me romance Bastila anyway.

As for a sith lord not being able to be female, well, imagine the sith will bow to whoever can kick the most butt.

"Don't solicit for your sister, that's not nice, unless you get a good percentage of her price."

When the opening crawl came up and I didnt know I was Revan, and the lin was like- "Malak, the last apprentice of the Dark Lord Revan" I thought Revan was like some uber dark male Sith Lord who had been vanquished long ago, as a male. Not female, Revna isnt a female name at all, and Dark Lord didnt seem a very female title.

I just can't imagine Revan not being a male. I made the mistake of not correcting Atton in our initial conversation at the beginning of TSL, so Revan was always referred to as a female during the rest of the game, and it drove me crazy. The Exile I can see as either way, but Revan, for me, is a male for sure.

See I indentify alot more with the Exile as a charachter than I do Revan... So to me the Exile is male, but I don't think there are enough female Sith Lords, so think having Revan as one does make up for it.

I'm the opposite. I identified much more with Revan than I did the Exile, although I identified with both pretty well. I am probably using the same logic that you are, however, in that the PC that I identify more with I cannot imagine being the opposite gender.

I've only played through KOTOR once with a female Revan, and to me it just feels weird with a female (because I've played as a guy for so long). But on the flipside, I always play KOTOR II as a female Exile, as the story just seems to flow better and I prefer Mical over Brianna anyway.

There are other places to stare at other than a PC character's butt.

What about Darth Traya?

The point is there are evil women out there and things could get bad in Star Wars universe when an angry woman who is strong in the Force decides to get revenge. I would fear an angry woman strong in the Force over an angry man who is strong in the Force too.

I didn't say they couldn't make life verrrry uncomfortable, just that they weren't inherently more evil. I grew up with 4 sisters (I still have all 5 senses intact as well ), so I know what a pain girls/women can be. Also why I still cherish my bachelorhood (till I lose my sanity, anyway ).

I played as a male my first play-through because it seemed the natural thing to do, seeing how I'm male, too. Then I found out that that was the canon version, and now I couldn't think of Revan any other way.

Since I know Exile is canonically female, if I ever played TSL I'd play as a female for that reason.

Sooo.... basically you're letting someone tell you how to play your game? Okaaayyy.

No, not at all. But it does influence my perception of whether Revan (or the Exile) should be male or female. What Revan should be and how I play my game are different things. Your assumption is off-base.

I'm generally inclined to imagine Revan as a male but I honestly don't care alll that much. I also think it was a mistake to cannonize "him" as a LSM. Mostly because unlike Revan, I think the Exile's story is much better as a male, and since "they made "him" a girl," I was most irritated. So whatever they decided for either of them doesn't steer my perceptions of the KOTOR universe at all.
